The Walking Dead Secret Lair Cards Will Have Universes Within Versions in Wilds of Eldraine

The six mechanically unique cards from The Walking Dead Secret Lair drop are finally getting their promised “Universes Within” versions in Wilds of Eldraine.

Don’t miss our coverage of today’s Wilds of Eldraine previews, the new mechanics, and Commander decks; plus six cards from the Enchanting Tales bonus sheet will be banned in Historic.

The new cards are:

Greymond, Avacyn’s Stalwart (previously Rick, Steadfast Leader)
Hanks, Slayer Zealot (previously Daryl, Hunter of Walkers)
Gregor, Shrewd Magistrate (previously Glenn, the Voice of Calm)
Enkira, Hostile Scavenger (previously Michonne, Ruthless Survivor)
Malik, Grim Manipulator (previously Negan, the Cold-Blooded)
Gisa’s Favorite Shovel (previously Lucille)

They will appear on The List, which is a special card slot in Set Boosters that has a 25% drop rate (meaning that approximately one in every four Set Boosters will contain a card from The List). There are 67 cards on The List, of which six will now be these Universe Within cards.

The Secret Lair x The Walking Dead drop was the first product in what would later be called Universes Beyond, which takes third-party IPs and brings them into Magic. It was originally released on October 4, 2020, to coincide with the debut of The Walking Dead: World Beyond, a new spinoff series based on the massively popular The Walking Dead franchise.

It was extremely popular and controversial. Most of the controversy centered around the fact that the cards were mechanically unique and only available for a limited time (as that is the nature of Secret Lair drops). To alleviate those concerns, Wizards of the Coast decided to create identical versions of the third-party Universes Beyond cards and set them inside of the Magic multiverse. Those cards would then (eventually) be available as a part of The List.

Today’s announcement is the culmination of the very first Universes Beyond cards finally becoming Universes Within.
